It's not a silly argument.. it's Apple's silly solution to a real problem. Actually it IS a silly argument, I stand corrected... it's a silly argument because those apps don't exist. Right now, there is NO WAY to get that content on an iPad... and thos apps may NEVER exist if Android tablets live up to hype AND come out soon enough. |

The problem, as I see it, is that Apple's philosophies are starting to annoy the people they need the most - developers. That's fine if they're content to being a niche provider for phones like they're a niche provider for computers - they very well could keep making a reasonable profit on the iPhone/iTouch Senior Citizen Edition platform. But their current philosophies don't lend themselves well to holding onto their dominance in the market now that strong competition is sneaking up from Android.

AND it is fine to "two tap" my way until I have 100 apps that I have to sort thru to get the content I want... an APP for every video providing website is a ****ING stupid model... do you REALLY believe that's the best model? HELL even Jobs doesn't, he WAS counting on html5 supporting h.264.. oops... |

You are like the MASTER of hyperbole. 100 apps for every single piece of content? Seriously? I have like . . . 3. And again, you FAIL TO TELL ME how it's ANY different than having 100 bookmarks for webpages. And yeah, you can view most video on the web with the i-Pad. Most web video comes from YouTube, anyway, which the i-Pad handles flawlessly. CNN? ESPN? They work fine, too. I think you're vastly overestimating the content that isn't available to the i-Pad. It's certainly not the best; I won't argue that. But it's more than adequate.
And it may not be ideal for you, but there are CERTAINLY advantages to it. Like when I launch the ABC Video App, I know that when I click on the videos, I'm going to get full episodes right then. If I go to the ABC website, I have to wade through a bunch of menus just to get to the video. The app is certainly more streamlined than the website. |

Seriously, bet me on the APP versus standards based web model ... let's see which is more sustainable. It's a proprietary crap, half-assed model that will FAIL. It simply fullfills a need NOW that in 12-18 months is gone. I made this same Apple bet 15 years ago and won it.. please tell me you'll put your money where your mouth is on this. You don't ACTUALLY believe that an APP based model isn't going BACKWARDS? As I said before, even Jobs knows better. |

The browser based model is simply better.. end of story... Apple was just too lazy and self centered to engage Adobe(yes, they suck) enough.. Google went the correct route and Android 2.2 will prove it. |

But apps are here to stay. If you want to make a bet that the App Store is gone in 18 months, then I will SURELY take that bet. It's here to stay. |

I agree that I would rather have it in the browser for SOME things, but on a portable device, an app works better for SOME things. It's not a black and white issue here. One way doesn't work 100% better all the time. |
